Treadmills for Hire
Using a treadmill indoors is a great way to exercise, as it simulates walking or running outdoors, but without the danger of tripping, the nuisance of traffic or the problems associated with adverse weather conditions. It is an aerobic exercise, with benefits including cardiorespiratory fitness, fat loss and muscle toning.
All of the hire treadmills at Fit Hire have adjustable speed, most also have adjustable incline, and many have programmes to keep the training interesting.
For those with sensitive joints, fast walking is preferable to running, and the intensity can be increased by inclining the treadmill deck. This simulates uphill training, and greatly reduces the “shock effect” coming up through the feet. We recommend that a good pair of trainers be worn, and if you intend to run regularly, look for a machine with good quality cushioning in the deck, or one with an orthopaedic belt. If you have any doubts, consider hiring a cross trainer, as these have lower impact on the joints and the added benefit of a more intense upper body workout.
Rental of a treadmill (running machine) is a good way try before you buy. Getting fit while hiring may motivate you to purchase a fitness machine which is more cost effective than renting long term.
Some of our customers hire a running machine either before or after surgery as recommended by their doctor or GP. Building fitness prepares the body to recover more quickly after invasive surgery. And physiotherapy usually includes some fitness training, so hiring a treadmill will help.
Hire of a treadmill saves money on travel and time – it is convenient and always available to use at home.
The elderly or less mobile often prefer to walk indoors rather than going outside where there are hazards, so hiring a walking machine or jogger is safer too. Some even walk their dogs on a hire treadmill.
Rent fitness equipment from the experts at Fit Hire and experience the thrill of getting healthier in your own home.
Many GP referrals recommend using a treadmill at home, so hiring can form part of an Exercise On Prescription programme. It is widely accepted that fitness training has benefits for physical and mental wellbeing, and helps to combat depression in many patients.
Compact treadmills are best suited to home users, and most of the hire models are folding, so they are easy to store. Many Fit Hire customers live in London where space is limited, so a space saving machine is always welcome.
